1. TASTE TESTING LESSER EVIL'S PUMPKIN SPICE POPCORN - I love a good pumpkin snackie!! I need to get on trying out some new Pumpkin Spiced flavored things- this post is a review of the Lesser Evil Pumpkin Spice popcorn. I love their snacks- they're delicious + made from clean ingredients!
2. SALT & STONE DEODORANT REVIEW + RESTOCK HAUL - Also in the clean department- these Salt & Stone deodorants. I've become a broken record on these, lol. After years of trying tons of aluminum-free deodorant- so far my favorite has been the Salt & Stone. For my full review and favorite scents, check out the post here.
3. NOTHING BUNDT CAKES S'MORES + OREO REVIEW - Ya'll these d*mn bundt cakes will be the death of me! Nothing Bundt Cakes has been putting out some bangers this year in the LTO/pop-up flavors. So far I think we've tried and reviewed 4-5 here on the blog. Obviously I had to snagged the summer S'mores flavor which is randomly popular this month?? I also tried it with the Oreo one- a permanent flavor. Maybe that's what you guys are after... hehe. You can read my thoughts on both here. Anyone know what the next one is?? I really need it to be meh so I can skip- I couldn't pass up the last Caramel Apple Cider + Biscoff ones!
4. DUCK DONUTS REVIEW + TASTE TEST - More snackies!! I really feel like I need to do a second visit to Duck Donuts, it's been several years now. My first and only time going was back in 2021! I shared my first impressions in this post here- I love that the donuts are made to order and that they have so many combinations!
5. MCCORMICK FALL FINISHING SUGARS - Ya'll know I had to grab these early! Last year McCormick introduced new finishing sugars during the holidays which were a b*tch to find, lol. I searched high and low for the Christmas flavors and *thankfully* found them, however nothing haunts me like the things I can't find! On a real note- it drives me nuts. Just this week I had to hunt down these new holiday Triscuits lol-- Cinnamon Brown Sugar, hello???? Everything always sells out way too fast so as soon as I saw these new fall flavors, I immediately ordered. The funny thing is they came prepared this year and I've seen them all over town, hahahahah. You can also buy them all online here and the prices are the same as you'd pay in store. Anywho- these are so fun. Great for baking, holidays drinks + more.

Happy Friday, friends! Idk about ya'll but this week wore me outttttt. I'm ready to veg out and relax this weekend with my book and some new Publix snackies, hehe. They definitely hustled me with this week's round of BOGOs. I went on Tuesday for tea and you can clearly see how things escalated, lol. I did in fact snag the tea though- I love Yogi and Traditional Medicinals teas which were both on BOGO. For years I've heard Peppermint Tea is great for digestion so I wanted to grab a box of that to try- the rest were impulse and clearly an internal cry for help??? Lol, Lord knows I'll need to chill the f*ck out as we get into the holiday season. On a real note- doesn't Cinnamon Horchata sound so good? I can't wait to try.
Lately I've also been on a dried apple kick so finding Bare Apple Chips on sale was a win- the cinnamon flavor is my fave. I've been trying to reign in my sugar addiction a bit so these have been a go-to healthier option when I'm craving something sweet. I love the crunch + texture. I've also been on a salty pretzel/cracker kick so I stocked up on Triscuits + these new Pretzel Pop'ums from Snack Factory.
Most everything else is just random staples, however another new find are the So Good So You juice shots. I've never tried this brand before so I grabbed one of each: Mango Spinach Energy, Ginger Cayenne Immunity, Pineapple Orange Detox, Passionfruit Energy + Watermelon Strawberry Immunity.
